        <description><![CDATA[emily's father dies when she is 30 years old, in 1894, therefore emily was born around 1864, (1894-30=1864) and she dies at the age of 74, (1864+74=1938) timeline- 1864-1938 hope it helps :)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[we know Emily was 30 when her father died, and we also come to realize just after her father dies she starts to go a little cookoo, by cookoo i mean she thinks she doesnt have to pay her taxes etc. and when she doesnt pay her taxes it is in 1894, so we can subtract 30 from 1894, to figure out what year she was born, roughly, in 1864. her death is at 74 years old, so from an estimated time from about 1864-1938. hope it helps :)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[i think this is like saying a "tribute" for emily. in the story, the narrator seems to have this deep empathy to the fate of emily. there is a deep understanding of the situation that she faced or grew up with. in this sense, it clearly showed that despite of the attitude the emily portrayed and the crime she had committed, the narrator seemed to acknowledge the woman inside her facade. so the rose only symbolizes respect for emily.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    In the future, Richie, try to restrict your questions to just one or two per posting. Feel free to relist the additional questions.
    William Faulkner's short story, "A Rose for Emily," was his first publication in a major magazine. It first made its appearance in 1930, and Faulkner had no doubt been working on it for some time before that. The exact date is not stated in the story, but we can assume it is probably in the early...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    Because author William Faulkner uses so many time shifts in his short story, "A Rose for Emily," Emily's age is not specifically set in any of the five sections. The story is told in a non-linear manner, and the stages of Emily's life follow suit.
CHILDHOOD.  There is no information regarding Emily's early childhood.  We know that the Grierson home was built in the "lightsome style of the seventies (1870s)" (Part I).  However, Emily...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[To make a case against Emily, what you need to do is present all of the evidence, as noted by witnesses and the townspeople (who, after all, did narrate the story).
Here is the evidence that works to prove Emily guilty:
1.  She bought rat arsenic from the druggist.  You can approach the druggist and bring him to the stand to testify of her purchase, and of the fact that she refused to answer the question that he asked her, "What is this...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Good observation. I am also in the opinion that there was no sexual abuse. However, I can see from certain quotes in the story what would lead you to believe in that there is an abnormal relationship going on.
For once, the co-dependent relationship both moral and physical that Emily has with her father has left her useless and blank after his death. Surely this leads to a sense of a master and servant relationship where here father dominated...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While no one can tell you definitively whether you are right or not, you can support the claim with evidence from the story.  I appreciate your effort to think critically about the text.
Since the townspeople remember "all the young men [Emily's] father had driven away,"  they almost understood her morbid reaction to his death, that "she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will."  Since he robbed her of her chance at...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    Emily's father certainly controlled and dominated her in the William Faulkner short story, "A Rose for Emily," but I see no evidence that he mistreated her sexually in any manner. We know little about the father except that he left Emily "a pauper," and that she refused to allow his body to be removed from the Grierson house until forced to do so. Her odd love does not necessarily mean it was sexual, however. The townspeople considered...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[To clarify, it wasn't on Tobe's bed that the indentation and hair was found; it was on a bed up in the attic.  On the other pillow was a rotted skeleton of a human man.  That's a pretty big clarification to be made.  The bed itself was behind a door that was closed shut and very difficult to get into; they almost had to break it down to get in. This implies that Tobe, the servant, probably didn't really go in there, or the door would have...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Miss Emily's manservant, Tobe, symbolizes several aspects of the ante-bellum life of the Old South in William Faulkner's short story, "A Rose for Emily." Tobe never speaks throughout the story, serving his mistress faithfully without apparent question. He is in part blamed for the decline of the Grierson house, of which he is the lone caretaker. When Emily dies, he leaves, never to be seen again by the residents of Jefferson. It is an act of...]]></description>
